About this project

We would like to invite the tag-team of artist/engineers David Beaulieu and Christian Pelletier to the Pop Montreal International Music Festival (http://popmontreal.com, September 30 - October 4, 2009) to build a Theremin room in our special Art Pop and POP Symposium headquarters.

The duo was last seen breaking musical boundaries with their loud-speaker suits worn by Patrick Watson and his musicians at this year’s Festival de Jazz de Montréal. If you click on this link, you can check a video of that out: http://video.msn.com/video.aspx...

The installation of massive proportions we want them to build will invite festival-goers to participate (alone, or in groups!) in the creation of on-site, mind-blowing, improvised music as they interact in a room with 16 antennas suspended above and around them. As they are activated, the antennas trigger psychedelic sounds that are bound to excite and solicit interest from all sorts of human beings.

We're asking all lovers of theremins, lovers of art, lovers of interactive experiences, lovers of electricity, lovers of music, lovers of the world, lovers of culture and lovers everywhere to help us make this project happen. And we've got a BIG list of awesome rewards to thank you for your pledges!

Your money will be used to pay for David & Christian's hard work and the equipment they will need to make this happen.

We will write a musical about you and 3 of your friends. We will act it out, and tape it in front of a live audience, and send it to you. If you live in (or are willing to travel to) Montreal, you are more than welcome to attend the one-night only performance. We might also be able to travel to you by bus if you don't live too far away.
